Brumfield said the tot, friend Heather Murphy's daughter, fell and hit her head while trying to climb out of her playpen.

Murphy told the newspaper the sentence was "more than I expected," and felt "justice has been served." But she told reporters she was still emotionally distraught over the loss of her daughter, who would have turned four on Sept. 30.

"None of it satisfies me. It doesn't matter… I won't ever see Olivia again," she said, according to Reuters.

In addition to the 20-year sentence, Brumfield must pay a $10,000 fee for investigation costs.

Brumfield is Thorton's child with his first wife, Melissa Parish, according to TMZ.
